Thank you for all you did at the pub Anthony. It has been fun to watch you grow up in poetry over the last 5 years or so. I hope that the book goes well. I look forward to having a Desmond book in my hands. Ha.

Poison or otherwise, there are somethings/some people that we can not resist chasing into, even if it is ever dangerous.

The lioness with belladonna in her eyes...I think of Victorian women putting belladonna in their eyes to make them more luminous and large not realizing how they were slowly poisoning themselves. sometimes, like in your poem, love is like that poem. A most excellent poem to share with us. You will be missed - your talent, your spirit. It will be wonderful to have a book by you, to say, I know this young man and this is his work. So proud of you and pleased for you. A poem like this one today gives witness to your talent.
